Yes, I've not put the Thread up yet, I will shortly, but tonight's MC Tables will be....
Master Cash 9 (£0.25 - £0.50)
Master Cash 10 (£0.25 - £0.50)
By the way, I was besieged in the Chat boxes last night by regs who wanted to know what tonight's MC Tables would be, & many of them were TP-ers. Maybe we might see some dancing..... I do fancy those Tables will be quite busy tonight, anyway.
PS - I hope you received my PM's - 4 of them! I had to split the reply into 4, for "technical reasons", pah.
PPS - Are you TP-ing next week, or the week after?
You DO need to resolve this before Monday week (like you don't know!) as you may be at a severe disadvantage otherwise. You might also chat to Dantb, who only lives up the road from you, & seems to know his IT onions. He's always very helpful, too.
It fills me with pride that you TP-ers are, in a way, out to "kill" each other to win TP, & yet you are all being so helpful & supportive of each other. What a wonderful thing to see.
An incoming PM arrived asking.....
"I heard you mention the other night that you were a captain at a golf club never realised this before which one were you captain at."
I asked the sender, a good guy, if he minded if I answered it on this Thread. It just saves me time, as similar questions arrive all the time via PM, & I get so behind with the replies.
So, yes, I was honoured to be Captain of Ormonde Fields Golf & Country Club, at Codnor (near Ripley), in Derbyshire. We Members preferred to call it "Royal Ormonde".
It was such a beautiful course, too,. Hilly - VERY hilly, set amidst typical Derbyshire rolling countryside. The Greens were visible from only 2 or 3 holes IIRC, and the opening hole was a right whoozer, & would have made a perfect 18th at almost any course in the UK. Dog-Legged, over water, short Par4, to an Island Green. The only problem is that bad golfer's rounds could be ruined at the first. And I was a truly bad golfer.
TP Mentor's Pick Jakally was a Member there, too, which is where I first met him. All this was pre my poker days though.
I taught the Golf Pro to play Poker later, & he is now a very successful Pro Poker player, and Mentors with a prominent Staking Site. If only he'd tught me to play Golf as wll as I taught him to play Poker.
Where do you play, in the main?
Very nice.
If you're stuck on Vista it's worth trying the 'fudge' I suggested HERE Sometimes disabling that feature helps improve general performance. Worth a try!
PS - good luck finding a computer boffin working in PC World lol ;-)
The TKO evnt the week after next is a Split Table event. Could you explain what this means?
Thanks
VERY interesting hand!
On the Turn, you were (about) 23% to win, & Matey Boy was 77%, so you WERE a dog.
But it depends what "price" you were getting to Call. If you were getting 3/1, yes, absolutely, it's a Call.
But I'd view this a different way. He only had 2,500 behind, you had 12,000 behind. In that scenario, in a Tournament, I'm never folding, & I deffo snap-call.
Did you go on to Cash? I hope you did!
There are a few organisations that sell Poker Tuition, but they are not very good, are extremely expensive, & one or two of the recent additions to the Market have been decidedly "dodgy", advertising well-known Pros alleged to be connected with the Site when in fact they are not. These people should be avoided at all costs would be my advice, if I were giving tips.
I'm only capable of teaching poker basics, but I do that competently, & I do it quite a lot, but I keep it largely under the radar. I did two one-on-one sessions last week, & both resulted in much improved performance from the "pupils". (I'm doing another one this afternoon, actually). Just low-level stuff, basics, really. To plug the obvious (to me) leaks in these peoples games is very satisfying, especially when I see their results improve instantly. I do not & will not accept money for these little sessions, but geography & time limits how much I can do.
Where do you live?
I "have a dream", you know. Both for Texas & Omaha basics, I'd like to run a series of little face-to-face "workshops", around the country. There would be no fee, I don't want money for it, it's just something on my bucket-list.
I enjoy helping newcomers very much, & I less & less enjoy the rudeness & ill-mannered vitriol I see on Poker Forums these days. Maybe it's time I changed direction, & did more face-to-face stuff.
A very thought-provoking question right now.
Anyway, let me know where you live, please.
They did explain it to me, but I've plum forgotten.
I'll find out (or someone will reply for me) & get back to you.
I trust you are a Team tikayer?
PS - Post more!
